Definitions
- the invention relates to 3—oxoadipate esters of certain polyols which are useful as crosslinkers in thermosetting coating compositions.
- Crosslinkers are multi-functional molecules capable of reacting with pendant functional groups on polymers.
- the use of crosslinkers enables one to increase the molecular weight of the resin or polymer and thus improve the properties of the resulting polymer or polymeric film.
- Most crosslinking reactions are initiated by heating a mixture of the polymer and the crosslinker either neat or in a solvent. Such systems are often referred to as "thermosetting" systems.
- Crosslinkers are particularly useful in coating applications due to the fact that the crosslinker enables the use of relatively low molecular weight polymers and resins which are easily handled and applied in solvents. The formulation can subsequently be applied to the substrate and heated, or cured, to give the finished (thermoset) coating.
- VOC Volatile Organic Content
- a number of properties are desired in a coating in order to impart the desired protection of the object from corrosion and other environmental factors.
- Some of the protective characteristics that are ultimately desired include the resistance of the coating to various chemicals and solvents, the impact strength of the system, the hardness of the coating and the weather- ability, or resistance, of the system to various factors related to environmental exposure.
- MEK rub resistance of a coating is one of - 3 -
- a commonly used test for the impact strength of a coating is performed by dropping a weight from various heights on a coated panel and determining the foot—lbs of force required to break the coating. Proper crosslinking contributes to the impact strength of a coating.
- Hardness and impact strength often work in opposite directions. This is due to the fact that impact strength reflects both the strength and the flexibility of the polymeric film, while hardness reflects primarily just the strength, or rigidity of the film. Thus, one often seeks a combination of hardness and flexibility by compensating one of the above characteristics for the other. _ 4 _
- the crosslinking process can be thought of as consisting of a series of steps. Initially, the crosslinking reaction consists of intermolecular reactions of various polymer chains. During this initial phase the chains are combining and thus building in molecular weight, but, the mobility of the polymer chains is not greatly restricted. This stage would be characterized by improvement in the chemical resistance, hardness and impact strength of the film. At some point, however, intermolecular reaction is essentially complete and intramolecular reaction becomes significant.
- the polymer becomes more rigid due to restriction of the polymer chain mobility by these intramolecular reactions and the resulting coating becomes more brittle.
- hardness will improve but the impact strength will decrease due to the increased rigidity of the polymer network.
- the balance between flexibility and hardness can be controlled by the amount of crosslinker used, the average functionality of the polymer and crosslinker as well as the chemical structure of the polymer or cross- linker.
- composition of the polymer and the crosslinker as well as the degree of crosslinking.
- a variety of exposure tests are available which enable one to determine the performance of the system to severe conditions.
- crosslinkers A large number of crosslinkers are used in various applications. A partial list of the more common types of compounds used as crosslinkers include:
- cross ⁇ linkers can be used in combination with other cross- linkers to impart a variety of desired characteristics to the coatings.
- the use and reactions of these cross ⁇ linkers have been reviewed elsewhere.
- Bisacetoacetates of general formula 1 have been shown to act as a crosslinker and is the subject of U.S. Patent No. 5,247,122.
